A safety chain must be used when traveling on public roads. Day or night, use accessory lights and other devices for adequate warning to operators of other vehicles. It is mandatory to comply with all federal, state, and local laws. ! CAUTION 5. The Broadcast Spreader is equipped with a towing hitch. Maximum towing capacity is 800 pounds with maximum tongue weight of 50 pounds. Initial Adjustments and Checks Empty hopper before transporting from site to site especially when transporting on public roads. ! CAUTION WARNING ! WARNING ! WARNING Always read and comply with all instructions and precautions on the label of the product being used. Never transport your Broadcast Spreader at speeds in excess of 20 miles per hour. IMPORTANT: Do not travel long distances with product in hopper or carry bags stacked on top of product in hopper. Doing so will cause product to compress resulting in improper discharge. ! Before loading the hopper with product, the spreader must be properly hitched to a tractor/vehicle capable of handling a fully loaded hopper and the telescopic arm must be adjusted to the proper length. Always wear non slip shoes, gloves, protective clothing, safety glasses, and a breathing mask capable of filtering powders when cleaning, servicing, lubricating, and filling your Broadcast Spreader to prevent injury to the body and/or injury from inhalation of product. Refer to chemical manufacturers’ labels for specific protective requirements. NOTE: To spread product more uniformly and correctly, operate spreader only on calm (non windy) days with dry product (not humid) that does not have lumps. 1. Pull spreader empty several feet to make sure spreader disc and wheels are rotating. 2. Stop spreader on a hard level surface, engage park brake, shut engine off, and remove ignition key before dismounting from tractor. 3. Make certain spreader disc is parallel to the ground. See Telescopic Arm Adjustment on page 14. 30676 Wire Retaining Pin Location Figure 2-1 Refer to Figure 2-1: 1. Make sure wire retaining pin is removed before transporting from one location to another. Replace wire retaining pin only to spread product. Make sure wire retainer is caught over end of pin to keep pin from falling out. 2. Be sure to reduce tractor ground speed when turning; and leave enough clearance so that the spreader does not contact obstacles such as buildings, trees, or fences. 3. Select a safe ground speed when transporting from one area to another. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely. 4. When traveling over rough or hilly terrain, shift tractor to a lower gear. 12 PTS500 & PTS700 (Pull-Type) Broadcast Spreaders 309-125M 4. Check distributor vanes and spreader disc for cleanliness and wear. Clean spreader disc and vanes if needed. Replace worn spreader disc and distributor vanes with genuine Land Pride parts only. 5. Make sure discharge gates open and close properly. 6. Close discharge gates, tighten lever locking knob, and insert hairpin in the first hole just below the lift levers to ensure gates do not work open. Calibrate Hopper Discharge Rate 1. Fill hopper with precise amount of material to cover one acre. Make a test run dispersing the material over one acre at the speed you intend to apply the product to verify if any gate adjustments are needed. 2. Make gate adjustments per instructions under “Dispersal Pattern” on page 14. 3. Adjust distributor vanes per instructions outlined under “Distributor Vane Adjustment” on page 15. 11/18/15 Table of Contents Section 2: Operation 4. Make a measurement of the spread pattern to be used later when applying product to the field. 5. Once all adjustments and calibrations above have been made and settings are satisfactory, continue with “Field Application” instructions on page 13. 6. Open distribution gates and continue back parallel to the previous run until tractor (5) is again at distance (D) away from end of field. 7. Continue this back and forth pattern (2 to 3, 4 to 5, 6 to 7 etc.) until field plot has been covered. General Operating Instructions By now you should have properly hitched your Land Pride Broadcast Spreader to your tractor/vehicle. Based on the type of material and pounds per acre you intend to broadcast, you should have referred to the spreading chart in the Operator’s Manual to determine the proper tractor ground speed, distribution gate opening, and spread pattern setting for your spreader. This process of taking prescribed fertilizer or seed label rates and making the necessary spreader setting adjustments is called “initial calibration”. When setting your spreader up for initial calibration, following the chemical or seed supplier’s label directions and using the manufacturer’s application rate setting charts is highly encouraged. Once you have achieved your initial calibration, it is time to make “final calibration” adjustments. 24982 Field Application Pattern Figure 2-2 Field Application Refer to Figure 2-2: NOTE: To ensure full coverage (without skips), set spreader to disperse product at half the rate and go over the field plot twice using a 2nd pattern that crosses the first pattern. 1. Fill hopper only after arriving at the application site. D = spread pattern D/2 = one-half the spread pattern 2. Start tractor (1) in a field corner at a distance equal to (D/2) away from the field edge. 3. Maintain this half distance from the field edge as you travel around the complete perimeter of the field. 4. When approaching starting point (2), turn tractor when at distance (D) away from the first run and travel parallel to the first run until the tractor (#3) is at distance (D) away from end of field. 5. Once you reach distance (D) from end of field, close distribution gates, turn tractor, and drive forward until at distance (D) away from the last run and then turn the tractor (4) again to head back across the field. 11/18/15 Travel to the area with tractor and hopper where chemicals or seed are to be applied. Measure off a test area. An acre is preferred. Measure out exactly enough product to cover an acre at the manufacturer’s prescribed rate and put it in the hopper. You should have already determined the appropriate ground speed that will allow you to meet the application rate. Start tractor and open distribution gate just as you move onto the plot traveling at proper ground and engine speed. Look back often to observe your distribution width and pattern density. Typically the pattern won’t be as dense on the outer edges. As you make your turn for an adjacent pass, adjust your travel path to achieve uniform overlap and pattern density. You may need to close and open the distribution gate at the beginning and ending of each pass. Your hopper should empty out just as you complete coverage of your one-acre plot. If not, make the necessary adjustments until you are absolutely confident that you have achieved the proper final calibration. Once you have achieved final calibration, load the spreader hopper with the appropriate amount of material to be spread. Do not overload hopper with more weight than is specified for your individual model. If the tractor front end becomes too light for proper steering, add tractor weights to the front end. Proceed with spreading operations looking back often to ensure a uniform distribution pattern and to make sure there are no interruptions to hopper flow. With a little practice you should become a very good applicator. Once you are done spreading, park the tractor/vehicle, set the brake, shut off the tractor/vehicle, and remove the keys. When finished, always clean out the spreader to prevent rust and corrosion.

Specific gravity, quality, and humidity of the product can also effect distribution. To help ensure even distribution, the operator can adjust the distributor vanes to different hole locations on the spreader disc. 2 1 Refer to Figure 3-4: When all vanes are placed in hole #1, distribution of product to the left is increased. If inserted into hole #4, distribution to the right is increases. Moving vanes from position #1 towards position #4 and keeping the same traveling speed will increase the distribution width of the product. Final adjustment of the vanes depends upon the type of material being used and the operator’s experience. 1. Loosen M8 x 16 (5/8") round head bolt (#1). 2.
